Appoint of principal for Burry Port

Welsh Open champion sees the Christmas return of principal cornet player Christopher Jenkins.

Burry Port
 

Welsh top flight outfit Burry Port Town has announced the return of Christopher Jenkins to the role of principal cornet.

Break

Christopher enjoyed a family break from banding following the birth of his second child, but with all those duties now under control, the time was right to return to the 'end chair' at the Welsh Open champion.

Pleased

Band Chairperson Sarah Jones told 4BR: "We are very pleased that Christopher has chosen to return in time for the start of the 2016 contesting season.

He played an integral role in our 2014 Welsh Area qualification to the Royal Albert Hall and will once again provide the band with a significant boost as we aim to repeat the feat in Swansea in March."
